Today's Scientific Computing Webinar

July 17th: Step-by-step Chaco

On Friday, July 17th, we'll be taking a look at Chaco, an component of our open-source Enthought Tool Suite.

It seems that this powerful tool impressed participants at last month's webinar, as numerous attendees responded with "Cool!! But how can I do that?" So Peter Wang, Enthought's Director of Technical Architecture, has offered to pick up where he left off last month and give a step-by step introduction to Chaco. This will include a closer examination of the code and more in-depth guidance on how use it for visualizing your data with 2D plotting.

This event will take place on Friday, July 17th at 1:00pm CDT (6pm UTC) and will last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the questions asked. If you would like to participate, please register at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/158182457.

Can't get enough scientific computing with Python?

This Scientific Computing with Python series focuses on the free and open-source Enthought Tool Suite and and should not be confused with our EPD webinar series. The latter is meant to provide customized support for our EPD Basic or above subscribers, and we initially intended for it to be closed to the public. Many non-subscribers have expressed interest in the series, however, so we have decided to allow non-subscribers to add their name to a waiting list for each EPD webinar. While EPD subscribers will be guaranteed entry and attendance will be capped at 35, we'll draw names from the waiting lists to available seats. These webinars are more intimate, with participatory demonstrations and VOIP question and answer available to attendees, and we think it's a great opportunity for us to support the broader SciPy community.

For some reasons some wmv's don't work on my Fedora 10 either. Neither with VLC nor with mplayer. Seems to me an encoding issue. One technique might be to convert wmv's to avi's using mencoder to fix this viewing problem.

However, the very last recorded wmv works pretty nicely with mplayer. This said, there are cases where video was working on vlc, but not audio, and reverse situation for mplayer :)

In the case where I can't find any solution, I just switch to windows and use kml player. It can play almost every codec without any problem.
